Boer War (Queens South Africa Medal) and First World War Medals (1914-1915 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal) awarded to Private Alfred WHITE. His service number during the Boer War was 3565 and he served with the Kings Royal Rifle Corps (K.R.R.C). He was in Australia when the First World War broke out and joined the 3rd Infantry Battalion in August 1914. The First World War Embarkation Roll indicates that he embarked on HMAT Euripides on the 20th of October, 1914 from Sydney. He landed at Gallipoli on the 25th of April, 1915 and also fought in the battle of Lone Pine. After Gallipoli, he was temporarily transferred to the 55th Battalion but then posted to the 5th Pioneer Battalion. He was with this unit in France, when he was killed in action on the 30th of October, 1916 by shell fire. Whilst he was buried, his grave was later lost during further fighting and subsequently, his name is recorded on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial. The CWGC (Commonwealth War Graves Commission) records indicate that his full name was Alfred Henry WHITE, however this is not mentioned at all on his service record. It is therefore assumed that his Memorial Plaque (Dead Man's Penny) is scribed with his full name. The Memorial Plaque was forwarded to his mother who lived in Islington, London England. This medal set was purchased on ebay Australia on the 14th of December, 2010 for $1,762.00 The medals are NOT FOR GENERAL SALE, however - consideration will be given to sell them back to a descendant of Alfred WHITE upon proof of relationship. This is a DUPLICATE entry, based on the fact that his full name may have been Alfred Henry WHITE.
